Guess I am having a senior moment but either I am reading something wrong or I just don't get it but don't you need 4 hexagons for the box??? 2 for the cover and 2 for the bottom??? If I am reading the directions it is stating 3. I just love these boxes but the pattern I have is a little dif and I do like yours better. The patter I have uses 4 hexagons and 12 side pieces for the lid.......................
